Synopsis

The BBC investigates the persistent rumors of snuff films – films depicting the killing of someone for the entertainment of viewers who pay to see them. The documentary examines the origins of these rumors, their appeal to exploitation filmmakers, and how readily available video recording technology has increased the likelihood of such films existing. Through interviews with filmmakers, law enforcement, and those who have attempted to create these films, the film explores the chilling stories behind the phenomenon. It focuses on the potential for financial gain as a motive for violent acts, as individuals have used home video equipment to record their crimes, though whether money has exchanged hands remains unknown. A thoughtful film that prompts viewers to consider the unsettling possibilities.
